Hello Steve and all,
Just a note to let you know that Google's gmail is very accessible now.
They've added an HTML option, which makes all the gmail commands very
accessible. Check it out!

Subject: Re: braille birthday

I received a bunch of E-mail noting that Google had put braille on their
home page to denote or mark the birthday of Louis Braille.

My only recurrent thought is this;
Its so cool to see Braille being shown that sighted folks show it off.
However, when it comes to real inclusion, there is trouble --- many of
Google's services including GMail aren't accessible to the blind.  This
seems to say that our stuff is cool but we are --- Passe?
Why not drop Google a line, today!
